EA has confirmed that the Sims 4 free-to-play option will begin on October 18, 2022, but will only be available for the base game. This announcement means that more gamers than ever before can take part in the fun that is Sims games.

Sims 4 took the world by storm, with millions of players worldwide taking part in the events, the mayhem, and the fun.

In regards to this free-to-play announcement, EA went on to state,
